I got to work before 8:00 this morning. I'm going to try to be in by 7:30 from now on. This morning, though, I had to take my dad to the repair shop to drop off the van. If I didn't have to do that I would have been in at 7:30.
At work, in the morning, we cleaned out the bat cave. It was extremely humid and stuffy in there. Tom wants that to become our storage room, but I don't think that is such a good idea. That room has a lot of evidence of water damage and has no climate control. We ended up filling one and a half dumpsters with all the trash we hauled out of there.
I finally got my classroom clicker thinggy that I was have problems with working now. I called the company again, and they got me up and running. I wish I didn't have to deal with einstruction.com . I got a response to my informational email I sent them Friday. They suggested that I upgrade my browser to one that supports 128 bit encryption (umm, ok the latest build of Camino seems to support it very well) and to set my security settings in Explorer to low. At that point I just rolled my eyes and decided to drop it. They are not very organized, and it would be almost impossible to do anything about it. I got what I needed, and I suppose I'll leave it at that.
Our instructor decided to talk a little bit about how the IT system is set up at ISU. All the stuff he talked about made me laugh. I already work for technology on campus. I know a lot about what goes on. He even mentioned the grey list that was enabled today. I was the only person who had a clue what it was. I'm afraid to go into any detail in that class for fear of making the instructor look like an idiot after attempting to prove my point.
Tomorrow is Wednesday already. It will be nice to see some friends. Perhaps Colin and I can hang out after church. I can help him with ideas for ATX and I can get my "build a computer" homework assignment done.
Grades are in for Stat. I was surprised by the outcome. I'll have to grab my degree audit and double check, but I think I managed to squeak by the 2.75 GPA requirement to get into the MIS program. I have to look into that and talk to my advisor so I can get added to the class that will bring me to 12 credits next fall.
I want to cut down on the sugars and Mt. Dew. I remember when I went without Dew for a week and I felt really good (after a day or so of withdraw headache). Once cigarettes get killed off, they will be going after coffee and pop with the evils of caffeine.
Well, it's already 12:00. I had my nap today and I'm still really tired. This getting up early really messes with me.
